Winning an award from the Ugly Houses people

Lott’s Alamo City Properties Inc., a San Antonio franchise for HomeVestors of America (known for its “We Buy Ugly Houses” slogan), was honored at the national HomeVestors convention in Orlando earlier in January.

Toni and Brownie Lott, owners of Lott’s Alamo City, were given the 2007 Founders Award. The award was created in 2005 in memory of the founder of HomeVestors, Ken D’Angelo. “The award is a tribute to his character, reputation, and entrepreneurial drive,” a release said.

“Lott’s Alamo City is one of the most successful franchises in our entire national network,” said John Hayes, president and CEO of HomeVestors, in a release. “Toni and Brownie’s hard work brought them a fantastic year and improved existing real estate in the San Antonio market.”
